Greetings everyone... Well, let me first deliver the news that neither of the embryos took and we weren't fortunate enough to have Tracy get pregnant this time around. I guess we are both in a state of trying to figure out what to do next and will be setting an appointment with Dr. Robins this week to discuss options.
I can say that it is taxing at best for me, and definitely stressful with Tracy because it's her body that had to go through all the variable hormonal changes, physical changes, and not to mention a few instances of painful cramps when her ovary would spontaneously twist. Not fun.
So that said... We did have a chance to meet some new neighbors at a block party this week who also went through IVF with Dr. Robins. They explained how their first go-round failed after implanting two embryos, but succeeded the second time after implanting four - and they ended up with twins. This is uplifting to say the least and I am sure will play some role in our next decision.
As I begin to dwell on issues of "fairness" and letting a degree of negativity speak, its frustrating seeing others having children so easily or without trying - or some who just shouldn't have children at all, I have to take a deep breath. I have a faith in our God that He gives people like us this opportunity to move forward and try again and will deliver His plan as he always does. We believe this wholeheartedly and it gives us strength.
So give a few days for us to be prepared to talk but please email or leave comments for us to read, as we do like sharing this part of our lives with our friends and family.
Talk soon.
